“My expectations were exceeded… The caliber of the individuals we’ve been able to hire through Remotely has been on-par if not even higher than the engineers in New York… with specific, hard-to-find skillsets.”

Mahmoud Arram

Co-founder & CTO, Bluecore

The best way to scale your team.

Bluecore, an AI-driven retail marketing platform, partnered with Remotely to augment their US-based engineering teams with nearshore talent due to challenges in hiring local engineers. Impressed by the high caliber of Remotely’s developers, Bluecore successfully expanded its team with skilled engineers specializing in hard-to-find areas like machine learning and modern front-end development.

Frequently asked questions

What engineering roles can Remotely fill?
The Remotely talent community is composed of mid to senior-level engineers, including fullstack, front-end and back-end developers, mobile engineers, data engineers, machine learning engineers, devops engineers, QA engineers, and engineering managers. We hire across skills, including React, Python, Node, Ruby, and more.
What is the vetting process for Remotely engineers?
Remotely uses its proprietary technology, Gitsight, to source and evaluate candidates’ technical knowledge and capabilities. We've analyzed and stack-ranked more than 25 million developers worldwide by reviewing their publicly available code (more than 1.2 billion commits), objectively assessing expertise in specific programming languages or ecosystems. This data edge allows us to hyper-target developers that fit our customers' specific tech stack and tech challenge.
Further, all candidates are interviewed by a Talent Manager and vetted by a member of Remotely's engineering team. In addition to technical skills, we vet for English fluency, and softer skills such as communication, remote-work culture, and ability to work independently. In some instances, we apply mock interviews: a mid-level live coding session, with 45min to an hour, going to the build of a basic solution to a more robust one. What is the legal relationship between Remotely, my company, and the engineers we hire?
How do you know your engineers are AI-fluent?
Every engineer is screened for AI proficiency in a live technical conversation — how they actually build with AI, not just whether they've used it. We tag each developer across six AI skill areas (prompt engineering & retrieval, model/output evaluation, LLM stack, fine-tuning, AI infrastructure, ML model building) alongside their specific tech stack and skills, and — where relevant — capture their hands-on AI work experience: what they've actually shipped, not just studied. That's how we match you to the exact AI capabilities and stack your role needs.
What is the legal relationship between Remotely, my company, and the engineers we hire?
You, the company hiring engineers, sign a contract with Remotely. Remotely signs individual contracts with each of the software engineers (contractors) you hire. Remotely sends you a single invoice, once a month, that provides a clear breakdown between engineers’ direct compensation, Remotely fee(s), and any reimbursables (e.g. your team’s travel, equipment, etc.) that you have approved.
What does the compensation and benefits package look like for engineers?
Remotely engineers are first-class engineers who are hired as full-time members of your team. You define their compensation (with Remotely’s guidance).
Compensation (Monthly Fee): You negotiate directly with the engineer and can lean on Remotely for guidance on local market rates (which vary by country and position). You’ll realize significant cost savings on the salary front (in comparison to US salaries) due to less competitive markets and lower cost of living. For more insight on local salary ranges by level, see 2025 compensation report.
‍Equity: We recommend providing stock options (and can assist with the legalities)
‍Other Benefits: Remotely helps you “match” the benefits package of your US-based employees.
- Paid Holidays (Local)* - We suggest matching the number of paid holidays your US-based employees receive. Remotely advises on specific dates based on local holidays
- Paid Time Off and Sick Days - We suggest matching that of your US-based employees
- Private Health Insurance Reimbursement - This is managed by Remotely and paid for by Remotely (included in the Remotely flat monthly fee)
Who owns the legal rights to the work created by a Remotely engineer?
The startup (our customer). Our contracts explicitly state that all work created by a Remotely engineer is the property of the startup (our customer), not Remotely or the engineer. Remotely’s only business is connecting world-class engineers to growing startups who want to work with them.
